 I like to stress that is my own speculation of how the internals work.

 If my theory is correct, yes, this appears to be a correct conclusion.

 I would expect that CURRENT_TIMESTAMP to be just a synonym fot getdate(). It
 would be funny if two equivalent functions are implemented in different
 ways.
 
 I also like to point out that this kind of behaviour that could be different
 in different versions of SQL Server, or even in different service packs.
